At Robroy Industries’ 2005 annual Christmas party, Santa gave out better- than-usual gifts for two young students.
Robroy awarded Ryan Smith and Jennifer Jones scholarships to be used to further their education. A $2,500 scholarship was presented to Ryan Smith who is currently attending Trinity Valley Community College in Athens, Texas. A $5,000 scholarship was awarded to Jennifer Jones, who will graduate in May from Gilmer ISD.
Scholarship applicants had to be a family member of a current Robroy employee. They also had to answer a series of essay questions. Applicants then submitted their answers and application to Robroy’s Operations Management Committee who decided on the winners.
